[mukto-mona] Rhetoric and Diplomacy

If rhetoric is diplomacy than president George Bush is damn wrong. This is common with him to mix up American zeal for developing democracy with threat and hypocrisy. His total lack of intellectual capability is the only reason for this mess. His recent trip to the Middle East is a proof of it. The United States being the only super power can achieve many things to make its foreign policy a success by being responsible and wise in words and actions. President Bush is conducting a personal war in Iraq and spent billions of dollars to forward a personal agenda. His grudge against Saddam Hussein who could not be wiped out by his father is a proof of his very poor understanding of the contemporary global politics. This war also shows his unscrupulousness. After destroying and bleeding a nation to death on manufactured accusations if he claims success in his mission this is clear madness. Now he   is stirring up another tension with Iran. He is bent on starting another misadventure before leaving the presidency. He has not learnt anything from Iraq if he attacks Iran. This will not help his allies in the Middle East nor will it enhance the security of the United States. But like Iraq if he has another personal grudge against Iran remembering the hostage crisis during the Reagan era nobody can stop him from another possible misadventure. This gunboat diplomacy will not usher democracy for which I don't think he is very serious in the complex political climate of the region. There is no doubt that Iran is no match for the military might of the United States but in the event of a conflict Iran can play havoc in the entire region. The feeble but oil rich Gulf States will be in serious security and political trouble and the oil supply through the narrow Strait of Hormuz will be virtually stopped. The world will be chocked and a recession will follow which will destroy the already weak economy of many nations. The security of Israel is threatened further. A nuclear holocaust can't be ruled out. There is only one suggestion he can be given that he should use his sanity before doing anything insane.
